I'm feeling really annoyed and upset that I have no money...Plz help!!!?

Question

Hi there, I'm 14 years old, and wanted to get a Saturday job. But hardly anywhere will employ me and there are no vacancies. And as the minimum age limit doesnt aply to mje, they could very easily take advantage of me and pay some crappy money like £2-3 an hour.

I didn't wanna take money from my Mum, and as we are not doing so well at the moment we dont have lot of money to spend.

We recently moved from a refuge, and are now living in a 2 bedroom house, and the rent is £1000 a month.

So now you see why we have no money to spend.

As a teenage girl I wanna buy all kinda stuf, go to the cinema, etc. But I have no money TO spend.

We are looking for a house where the rent is cheaper, but and my Mum said that she will give me and my 2 brothers pocket money then.

I feel really sad, please can u help me? How can I overcome this feeling?

I am grateful 4 what I have, it's just that I wanted to be more independent, and now I can't. We won't be moving house 4 ages, so plz help!

Answer 4

All I can suggest is that you work hard at school, get good GCSE and A-level grades, go to a good Uni, and get a decent job when you're older.

The least you can do is prepare for your OWN future so that you and your future kids should not have to endure what you've already been through.

Answer 5

Things you can do for extra money.

Shop for the elderly

Babysitting for the neighborhood kids

Cleaning the neighbors yards

Walking dogs

Housesitting

Any of these jobs can be done for a min. of $6 or $7 an hour.  So get to it.  

Answer 6

earn it

Answer 7

Go to condominiums and or apartments send each mailbox a fliers that you can clean their houses, babysitting, doing laundry or whatever they like as your part time job. Make it more decent and trusty put your name, address and your contact number so that the people will trust you and will call you coz your info is in the paper.

Goodluck.

Answer 8

Aww!! First of all can I just say I think you are doing really well,and your willingness to help is amazing,I'm really sure your mum will appreciate it.

How about you extend on things you are interested in such as if you are into drawing you van try and market ideas to companies or shops.Or if it's singing maybe you can see if there are any events close by that are willing to pay you for your time.

Im not sure if you have done work experience at school if/when..maybe if you have been their they can give you some sort of placement .Or even some sort of some sort of cooking for people like a neighbour or friends.Also you can try retail shops like River Island and JD Sports.Although one thing I think is that you shouldn't be working long or late hours,although it's up to you,I just don't think it's right for companies to employ you that way or for you even.Also you can write into magazine such as 'That's Life' and 'Chat' (they are in newsagents and supermarkets) and you can send in stories and pictures etc.Also they have crosswords and things to fill out and win prizes,and I know someone that knows someone lol that won something.

I know it might seem hard but try not to feel down,because I can tell you are caring just by reading what you wrote I'm sure you Mum and brothers are appreciating everything you do.

I really do wish you all the best!

Answer 9

Try and be more patient,and wait till you move house. Just remember ther are people who are alot worse off than yourself.

Answer 10

get a paper round to start with,or delivering leaflets,theres work or odd jobs everywhere,its a matter of pushing youreself and go finding them.

go to some farms,see if they need any pickers in the fields,thats another option.what about getting up early and go deliver milk with a local milk man/woman.

Answer 11

become a rentboy

Answer 12

Can you babysit or do things for people that you can earn some funds to spend?  Even helping deliver the paper in your neighborhood could be of some help.

Are you good at poetry? Short stories? there are some publishing companies for teens that will pay $100.00 and more for each.........now hows that.

I live in a apartment complex that goes by your income and sweetie at my age I don't even have enough to have food at the end of the month sometimes, and I think they are going to raise my rent because of the improvements.

Don't think I am putting you down, I am not .Just want you to know that when you get older like me its not a sure thing  in having funds to spend.

Answer 14

It sounds like you're a really good kid trying hard to help.

Most parents don't get kids like you, she's lucky.

I would go around the neighborhood and offer to do jobs.

For example, you could clean up houses, watch kids and pets, et cetera.

And if you have a lawn mower, I have a friend who charges £20 an acre to mow, and we live on a 4 acre lot.

@_@

You could also have a bake sale, where you make cookies and scones and cakes, as well as other treats, and sell them.

You could even pair it up with some tea or lemonade for extra.

Actually, I like the last idea.

You could set it up at your apartment or mall, or perhaps a local cafe will let you.

Best of luck!

Answer 15

You could wash the neighbours cars or why not try selling some of your old belongs at a car boot sale great why to make money for your old rubbish what about dog sitting taking people dogs for walks good luck anyway x
